MOSCOW — Russian officials have released what critics are calling a better “director’s cut” of the conversation between a Russian Spetsnaz soldier and his commander in which the soldier intentionally called an airstrike on himself to destroy nearby ISIS fighters.

Col. Vasili Pushkin, the commander who authorized the actual airstrike, appreciates the Kremlin having his character represented better in the updated transcript.

“Originally they make me sound like idiot robot, which is problem with, how you say, ‘pathos,’” Pushkin commented. “Now I courageously reinforce comrade, attempting to save him while slaying thousand of enemies.”

American film director Michael Bay has spoken out against the modified transcript. “This kind of historical tampering is unacceptable,” he claimed while re-editing his vaguely probable film 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.

“It’s idealistic and patriotic, but they didn’t even depict the dramatic explosions at the end or add huge ISIS robot battles. They also let their main character die, leaving no room for sequels. What a bunch of novices.”

Before slagging off what is clearly humor based on what can at best can be called propaganda, check the facts. Who has so far provided proof that there even was a real soldier involved who died? Or are you taking the word for the Russian army for it? Seriously? I thought this was well written and a good stab at a story that grew in size as the interest grew. Wait for the video next.
